Yesterday I got these fabrics in the mail from fabric.com
( they had a sale on kona solids and wide backings- PERFECT)
they are actually kind of BORING! just black and white and white muslin backing….
but that’s okay 🙂
it’s for my husband, not sure if I’ll finish it by his birthday in 2 weeks, but I MIGHT, he knows I’m working on it and if I don’t finish it on time that’s okay too.
This will be the quilt! a BARCODE.
I’ve mentioned this before here
I printed out the quilt from EQ and then counted how many squares of each black and white in each row and wrote it on the side, I already looked that I should cut each 3 1/2″ square.
So I started cutting today
(after I washed them this morning AND ironed them- phew that took a long time)
Here they are all lined up and marked rows with a pin and paper.
I’ll start sewing later today or tomorrow,
I think I’m going to iron the seams OPEN, which I rarely do, but here it seems fitting, also to have the black fabrics stay with the black and white with the white…
I also remembered to cut the 93″ border length wise so NO seams! hope it’s straight 🙂 and I cut 4 around 100″ long so that should be fine.
Wish I could go up and sew more NOW, but I need to go to the kids school and help out the PTA 🙂

I think this is a cool idea!! Good luck with a fun quilt.
Wow, there's a lot of work in this. Good luck! It will look wonderful!
Wow this is going to be a neat quilt! Have fun and can't wait to see more of it!
WOW! Does the QR code lead somewhere special? I was thinking of making a postage stamp one for my shop that goes to my website
Wow! This is going to be such a cool quilt. Great idea!Thanks for linking @ This Week!
Very cool idea! I came over from Marcia's linky party!
this looks like fun!
That looks like loads of fun and work! I want to make a crossword puzzle quilt but never have. Maybe someday!Vicki @ Quilting Lodge
I often press seams open, I think it looks better on the finished quilt. I'm sure your husband will love it. Oh yes, I'm visiting from Fabric Tuesday.
Amazing! Might have to try that sometime. I love it!
